And since you've gotten the basic idea, I won't press for more details, and instead give you a***SPOILER***In 1987, thanks to glasnot policies, Billy Joel (our "Bruno") became one of the first American musicians to be able to perform in the Soviet Union. However, during a performance of "Sometimes a Fantasy" (the lyrics of which partially inspired this puzzle's name), he noticed that the police were shining a spotlight over the crowd, making them unable to enjoy themselves. This resulted in a rather amusing reaction from Joel.
